Hello,

Does anyone know if the latest FIPS-capable OpenSSL can be used safely by multi-threaded applications?

I have read the various FIPS-related docs for OpenSSL and did not see any mention of thread support.

Per http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/threads.html, I understand that the "regular" OpenSSL provides multi-threading support if two specific callback functions are implemented. Does this technique also apply to the FIPS-capable OpenSSL? That is, would the implementation of these callbacks guarantee multi-threading support in a FIPS-capable OpenSSL?

I am planning to use only the following algorithms: SHA-256, HMAC- SHA256, AES-256 for encrypt/decrypt and AES Key wrap (on Linux, Windows and Mac OS X 10.3+).

Thanks,

Bill
